My keyboard "W" has been replace with "Control + C"

When i start my game, i realized that I cant move up anymore, all other movement is normal, and I also cannot type "w" in chat.

I checked with keyboard tester and notepad, my keyboard just work fine.

Restarting the game doesn't work, I try to figure what happen in keybinding UI. When I tried to rebind my "W" in move up, instead of "w" it showed "control + c". When I back to game, it still doesn't work correctly and I need to really use ctrl + c to move up ....

Does this occur when using any other programs?

Are you running any third-party tools?

This sounds like you're running an AutoHotkey script or other macro-like tool to change your w to Ctrl+C, which is unrelated to Path of Exile.
I did installed a plug in for POE2 which is Sidekick. But after I uninstalled it and restart my PC the problem was still the same, like this game detected my "w" key on my keyboard differently.
Same issue here. Did you ever resolve it?
Not really, have to keep restart PC, and this method sometimes work and sometimes don't
Problem fixed. It only happen when i turning on "Sidekick", when Sidekick running I open other games. Tried so many time so fix the problem, at first need to spam Shift + Spacebar + W, sometimes this method will fixed along with a lag and my Sidekick close application. So what I need to do is when my "W" key not working I just turn off Sidekick.
